The information is really great, but the user interface is awful. I try to scroll through a chapter with my fingers and it jumps to the next chapter. I found the TINY scroll button, but it takes you exactly to where the page left off, meaning photos are cut in half with no way to see the full image and sentences that were grayed out at the bottom of the page (due to the index box) are considered the end of the page and I have to squint and read them before hitting scroll to keep reading. I want to like this app; I love the VMFA exhibit and the stories are fascinating. I just can't really access them with this app; I gave up in frustration after a chapter or two.
